Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals extracted from the synovial fluid of a patient with pseudogout viewed under polarised light microscopy. Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals extracted from the synovial fluid of a patient with pseudogout viewed under polarised light microscopy. Note the variation in size and morphology of the crystals, and the fact that some of the particles do not appear to exhibit birifringence.
